Locking tuners with a floyd

How do locking tuners compare to a locking nut on a floyd?
I assume they're more convenient in terms of retuning but how does tuning stability hold up?

I know chris broderick did it on his LACS ibanez, but does it make practical sense if one only does moderate to less-than-moderate whammy usage

Just curious...thanks guys..

Locking tuners work fine on Floyd systems. Just make sure you have a nice slick nut (Graphtech is recommended).

If you're in a Vai or Satch cover band, you will probably want a locking nut.
